Front A Caliper on LWB Brake Lines?

I just put SC A calipers on my ‘71 911E with 3.5” S front struts. The calipers bolt right on but the hard lines from the calipers to the flex lines are too long. I’m wondering what the best solution is to get everything hooked up.

I was thinking either:

- bend the lines as required to get them hooked up to the A calipers

- buy pre-bent front hard lines for 78-83 cars

I wasn’t sure what people do so wanted to get opinions on the best way to get the hard lines back on the A calipers.

Thanks in advance for the help.

Personally I’d just measure out what I need, then go to my local auto parts store asking them to make me some lines. They will come straight, but bending them is straight forward. Either by hand with the help of rounded objects around the garage or by using a cheap $10 tool

I'll look into that option. I found prebuilt straight brake line kits that are pretty affordable so I may do one of those potentially.
